Going through Regis Jesuit can be a tough task, but you aren’t doing it alone. Thousands of people have gone through this school just like you, and there are a couple of things that they think you should know.

“Regis was pretty hard, but if you really cared about it, it prepared you for college really well,” said alumni Mitchel Rossi ’14.

Alumni know a lot about what to do to prepare for college, so they are going to give you some tips to prepare for it. When asked if Regis Jesuit prepared them well for college, several people agreed without any doubt that they couldn’t have asked for much more at all from this school. But when asked what they could have done themselves to prepare more for college, they all agreed that they wanted to have paid more attention to their classes .

“If you just pay attention in class it cuts down your study times by about 70%, also the teachers sometimes give you tips that you wouldn’t get otherwise,” Kat Law ’14 said.

Regis Jesuit not only prepares you academically for college, but socially as well. After talking to Levi Rossi, who went on to play soccer professionally in New Zealand, he said that the clubs at Regis really helped him interact with people later in his life and truly allowed him to create bonds that lasted him until he was out of college.

“The clubs really felt like one of the most important parts of Regis, I feel like I would have missed out on a lot of stuff if I didn’t participate in at least one.” He said.

One thing was agreed on completely by several alumni. The food at Regis is amazing. No food at any of the colleges could even compare to what we have here. “Buy all the cookies,”said Mitchel.

The one thing that they thought Regis Jesuit could have done better was preparing students for all of the independence that you will have in college. After you get out of here you will be living with your friends and it will be harder to focus on your work with everyone around you.

“Sadly, they can’t really prepare you for that, you need to find ways to do that on your own,” Kat said. “It is a thing that the teachers will not help you with but you need to make the decision to go and help yourself by talking to your teachers when your confused, not having them come talk to you.”
